A low-level client representing Amazon CloudWatch Logs:
import boto3
client = boto3.client('logs')
These are the available methods:
Associates the specified AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) with the specified log group.
Associating an AWS KMS CMK with a log group overrides any existing associations between the log group and a CMK. After a CMK is associated with a log group, all newly ingested data for the log group is encrypted using the CMK. This association is stored as long as the data encrypted with the CMK is still within Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This enables Amazon CloudWatch Logs to decrypt this data whenever it is requested.
Note that it can take up to 5 minutes for this operation to take effect.
If you attempt to associate a CMK with a log group but the CMK does not exist or the CMK is disabled, you will receive an InvalidParameterException error.

Request Syntax
response = client.associate_kms_key(
logGroupName='string',

[REQUIRED]
The name of the log group.
[REQUIRED]

The task must be in the PENDING or RUNNING state.

Request Syntax
response = client.cancel_export_task(
taskId='string'
)
[REQUIRED]
The ID of the export task.
Creates an export task, which allows you to efficiently export data from a log group to an Amazon S3 bucket.
This is an asynchronous call. If all the required information is provided, this operation initiates an export task and responds with the ID of the task. After the task has started, you can use DescribeExportTasks to get the status of the export task. Each account can only have one active (RUNNING or PENDING ) export task at a time. To cancel an export task, use CancelExportTask .
You can export logs from multiple log groups or multiple time ranges to the same S3 bucket. To separate out log data for each export task, you can specify a prefix to be used as the Amazon S3 key prefix for all exported objects.

Creates a log group with the specified name.
You can create up to 5000 log groups per account.
You must use the following guidelines when naming a log group:
If you associate a AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) with the log group, ingested data is encrypted using the CMK. This association is stored as long as the data encrypted with the CMK is still within Amazon CloudWatch Logs. This enables Amazon CloudWatch Logs to decrypt this data whenever it is requested.
If you attempt to associate a CMK with the log group but the CMK does not exist or the CMK is disabled, you will receive an InvalidParameterException error.

Disassociates the associated AWS Key Management Service (AWS KMS) customer master key (CMK) from the specified log group.
After the AWS KMS CMK is disassociated from the log group, AWS CloudWatch Logs stops encrypting newly ingested data for the log group. All previously ingested data remains encrypted, and AWS CloudWatch Logs requires permissions for the CMK whenever the encrypted data is requested.

Creates or updates a destination. A destination encapsulates a physical resource (such as an Amazon Kinesis stream) and enables you to subscribe to a real-time stream of log events for a different account, ingested using PutLogEvents . Currently, the only supported physical resource is a Kinesis stream belonging to the same account as the destination.
Through an access policy, a destination controls what is written to its Kinesis stream. By default, PutDestination does not set any access policy with the destination, which means a cross-account user cannot call PutSubscriptionFilter against this destination. To enable this, the destination owner must call PutDestinationPolicy after PutDestination .

Uploads a batch of log events to the specified log stream.
You must include the sequence token obtained from the response of the previous call. An upload in a newly created log stream does not require a sequence token. You can also get the sequence token using DescribeLogStreams . If you call PutLogEvents twice within a narrow time period using the same value for sequenceToken , both calls may be successful, or one may be rejected.
The batch of events must satisfy the following constraints:
If a call to PutLogEvents returns "UnrecognizedClientException" the most likely cause is an invalid AWS access key ID or secret key.
